We are economically left wing, believing in the comprehensive school system, abolition of private and faith schools, nationalization of key industries, middle-level taxes but no raises (most spending funded by funds drawn from extraneous areas), an improved NHS bankrolled by the abolition of private healthcare, etc.

Socially we are fairly liberal, believing in homosexual civil marriages, full compliance with the Convention of Human Rights, but a strong sense of social responsibility. We believe in that old cliche, tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime - and the primary causes of crime are on the one hand, poverty, on the second, boredom and dissatisfaction, and finally, greed and joy in mischief. The last nothing can be done about, the other two can be dealt with.

Internationally, we believe in leading the Commonwealth, and distancing ourselves from both major western power blocs by attempting to form the Commonwealth into a third, balancing them out. We would withdraw from the EU and abandon the single currency project. War is to be discouraged except in extreme circumstances.
